        <p>Some absolute genius of a woman has written a break-up letter that comprises entirely of Taylor Swift lyrics because, let&rsquo;s face it, pretty much every single Taylor Swift song is about a break-up. Apart from... nope. I&rsquo;ve got nothing.&nbsp;</p>
<figure >
    <img src="//mediastorage-lls.bauermedia.co.uk/ae/fb4a4/28e76/3e7d5/ca4cf/b7279/dda07/letter1_500x656.jpg?1416927527" alt="&amp;nbsp;" height="656" width="500">

        &nbsp;
    </figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Anyway, while T-Swift can provide excellent firepower for a particular kind of breakup letter &ndash; what if you want to go a bit more ballsy? Like, Beyonce ballsy? Wonder no more because we&rsquo;ve channelled Queen Bey into the perfect method for getting rid of a cheatin&rsquo; man. Or woman. Or someone who hasn&rsquo;t cheated at all, but you&rsquo;re just not feeling it anymore.&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thedebrief.co.uk/2014/11/very-important-style-and-design-lessons-from-taylor-swift-s-new-video-for-blank-space#.VHSSW2R_seU" target="_self">READ MORE: Style And Design Tips From Taylor Swift's New Video For Blank Space</a></p>
<p><em>Hey babe,&nbsp;</em></p>
<p><em>There was a time I thought that you did everything right. No lies, no wrong. Boy I, must&rsquo;ve been out of my mind, so when I think of the time that I almost loved you, you showed your self and I saw the real you. If I were a boy, I think I could understand how it feels to love a girl &ndash; I swear I&rsquo;d be a better man. I wanted you bad &ndash; I'm so through with that, because honestly, you turned out to be the best thing I never had. I&rsquo;m taking back the things I got from you, on top of you not calling me back &ndash; you see I bet you think it&rsquo;s all on track, but what about my body? You would rather go and party.&nbsp;</em></p>
<p><em>I give you everything you want everything you need. Even your friends say I&rsquo;m a good woman, all I need to know is why? Why don&rsquo;t you love me? I got beauty, I got class, I got style, and I got ass and you don&rsquo;t even care to care. Bet it sucks to be you right now &ndash; don&rsquo;t you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable; what goes around comes back around.&nbsp;</em></p>
<p><em>Baby I won&rsquo;t shed a tear for you, I won&rsquo;t lose a wink of sleep, because the truth of the matter is replacing you is so easy</em></p>
<p><em>[insert your name here]&nbsp;</em></p>
<p>Sure, it makes you sound a bit all over the place (while Tay mainly does nostalgic, hurt songs &ndash; Bey goes all out raging, as well as hurt, and secure as well as insecure), but what great break-up letter doesn&rsquo;t? I remember once running down the road in no shoes after an ex yelling, &lsquo;I&rsquo;M NOT MAD, COME BACK HERE.&rsquo; Breaking up is a paradox.&nbsp;</p>
<p>And Beyonce&rsquo;s lyrics don&rsquo;t just go well with relationships, oh no &ndash; while Taylor tends to focus on matters of the (broken) heart, Beyonce&rsquo;s back catalogue works pretty well in most scenarios. Look, there&rsquo;s a Beyonce for all occasions:&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>A Beyonce lyric for...</strong></p>
<p><strong>Quitting your job email: </strong>Fuck you, pay me.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Drunk birthday speech:</strong> This goes out to all my girls that&rsquo;s in the club rocking the latest!&nbsp;Who will buy it for themselves and get more money later.&nbsp;I think I need a barber.</p>
<p><strong>Letter to your best mate:</strong>&nbsp;And if you wasn&rsquo;t for you,&nbsp;and if I didn&rsquo;t know you,&nbsp;and if you never reached me,&nbsp;and if you didn&rsquo;t teach me,&nbsp;I wouldn&rsquo;t be, who I am right now.</p>
<p><strong>Discussing your monthly cycle with your GP:</strong>&nbsp;I been on, I been on, I been on &ndash; tell me who gone take me off, take me off, take me off, take me off, &rsquo;cause I been on</p>
<p><strong>Speaking with changing room attendants:</strong>&nbsp;Stop, I ain&rsquo;t ready yet.&nbsp;Wait, let me fix my hair.&nbsp;I think I&rsquo;m ready</p>
<p><strong>Giving sex advice from the 1950s:</strong>&nbsp;Ladies look here, when you been with your man for a long time, every now and then you gotta go back in the closet and pull out that freakum dress.</p>
